Bloody Popcorn Podcast, Bonus Episode: "8 Questions with Ryan Lambert"

Join me (Joanna) as I (virtually) sit down with Ryan Lambert for a Q&A about, you know, The Monster Squad! But these aren't my questions. They come straight from the mouths of babes - my babes, to be exact, Milo (8) and Ash (6)! So, if you ever wanted to know why Dracula drives a car or need an explanation about why the Mummy isn't all that scary, you've come to the right place. And Ryan's answers do not disappoint. And while you're at it, don't forget to pick up a copy of the newly released MS doc Wolfman's Got Nards. It's clearly a must buy if you want to be in the goddamn club. Disclaimer(s): I used a phone recording app, so the quality isn't stellar, but it works! Also, I had a small coughing fit (not COVID, I promise) and forgot to edit it out. Oops (insert eye-roll emoji here).

Bloody Popcorn Podcast, Episode 46: "Revisiting the Warlock"

We're back and we're kicking off the new year with an episode 2+ years in the making - it's a revisit of the Warlock trilogy! (In truth, we meant to do this topic in October of 2017.) We chat up Julian Sands, Bruce Payne (not Wayne), director Anthony Hickox, and the lost charm of 90s direct-to-video sequels.  Of course, we also talk about recent movie viewings, Twitter picks for recasting the Warlock, and tease the next episode (Poison Ivy?).  Drinking game: Every time 90s nostalgia is referenced.

Bloody Popcorn Podcast, Episode 43: "Redemption Rewatches - The Video Dead & Street Trash"

Every so often we like to give movies another watch, another go to see if our opinions change. Sometimes we appreciate a movie more (Satan's Little Helper) and sometimes we like it even less (RZ's Halloween 2). So, this week we're tackling two previous genre disappointments: The Video Dead and Street Trash. Listen to see how and if we change our tune on these 1987 flicks... We also chat up recent movie viewings AND interview our wild kids for 5 minutes!    Drinking game options: Every time we talk about set design; every time we talk about icky characters.  Look for more goodies at BloodyPopcorn.com.

Bloody Popcorn Podcast, Episode 42: "Our 2009 Movie Superlatives"

Oh, shit — we’re back with a “new” BP podcast episode! We say “new” because it was actually recorded two month ago in March and has been sitting stagnant, unedited, while life got super-crazy. But here we are! On this episode of the BP podcast, we celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary by looking back at films from 2009! But to add some spice to the format, we’re giving out movie superlatives (i.e. best kill, best villain, etc). And it’s a long, rambling one — also one where Joanna is clearly pretty tired and a little drunk. We also chat about “recent” movie viewings and Monster Mania! Drinking game options: Every time we go into an impromptu “deep dive” of a certain actor of actress; every time we forget someone’s name. Look for more goodies at BloodyPopcorn.com.

We also chat a few recent movie viewings; go on a tangent about DVD packaging; and read some tweets. Plus, we tease the next episode topic: something surrounding the year 2009!

Yes, it’s mid-January, but the podcast is back with a rockin’ New Year’s countdown of our favorite movie musical moments! No, we’re not talking about musicals – just perfectly placed songs in genre movies. (Think: the soundtrack to A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master.) We do an official countdown where we each pick 5 movies to add to the mix – and they are secret picks with surprisingly (sorta) no overlap! We also chat about recent movie viewings (Deadpool 2), read some tweets about first movie watches of 2019, and tease the next episode (stupid sexy sequels?).
